(scroll down for mutes)
Listed below by company are categorical collections of my lifetime accumulation of mouthpieces for trumpet, flugelhorn, and a few cornet.
Many of these are ones that I personally tried and used at various stages of my performing career. Others are ones that I purchased to use in teaching, some are ones that were given to me by friends, by fellow trumpeters, and some are very collectible because of who they previously belonged to, i.e., Blue Mitchell, Bobby Hackett, Del Staigers. There are also numerous prototypes from a few companies that were working with me in development.
They are in various stages of age and condition. My dear friend Pete Berg has been trying to “clean them” as best as possible but some are needing extra service if desired. Oftentimes the older collectibles are more valued in their present condition. After checking other online sales and seeing what were the “normal” prices, I decided to lower the prices for these in order to make them more easily available for collectors and players/teachers. Prices are as listed plus shipping costs. Pete’s email address is shewsales~lksjdf~protonmail.com.
Thanks, Enjoy your purchases.

Typically, I started buying and collecting mutes at age ten when I started playing the trumpet. Over the past 73 + years of playing, my mute collection has become “ridiculous”! The collection list below contains many odds and ends of various types from all around the world, some in used condition but still functional. ALL on the list are usable. Some are never used. Some are rare, others standards. I hope they can be enjoyed, used. And I must thank my friend, Pete Berg, for helping sort thru and categorize the entire collection. Pete’s email for sales contact is :
